Eco-weekend

In addition to switching off this Saturday for Earth Hour (at 8.30pm), on Sunday it's Resurgence magazine's slow sunday...

Slow Sunday is organised by www.resurgence.org and is all about recognising that it’s the environment that pays the real price for our busy, fast-paced lifestyles.

In our recent past, Sunday was a day of rest – a day of reflection. Resurgence aims to make it a day where we consume less, reduce our food miles and our carbon footprint and also make it a day when we engage with our family, friends and local community.

Spend a day doing small things that will have a positive impact on the planet and on your health. Spend a day planting vegetables in your garden or for your window ledge – you’ll end up with some lovely home grown food with no food miles and no nasty pesticides. Bake bread from scratch – this is good fun and means you get delicious bread minus the huge carbon footprint of shop bought alternatives.

Enjoy your eco-weekend!
